a weekend holiday
some happy hours in the northbank community gardens
children wandering and gathering
mama weeding and dreaming of how her seedlings bought today will grow
{and realising i won’t be here to see them grow}
but enjoying my gardening all the same…
flavoursome leaves and a few asparagus stalks
chicken friends and chicken squawks
blossoms and seeds
ladybirds and weeds
chickens want holding
and a little paper bag folding
peace, rhymes, being together outside on a tired day
this garden is an amazing resource for the community
abounding gratitude to the committed crew who keep it growing well
and accessible to us all*
